Not his play on the court or the blockage he left on the salary cap flow. But he was a character and kept the locker room loose. Same with big KOQ. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Whatever happened after his signing was a complete disgrace and a total non-basketball type of BS. Can't even say good riddance...

Some here seemed to defend this signing. I thought it was terrible at the time and the wrong direction to go. It was stupid to get rid of Robin Lopez who was signed to the best deal ever and played every friggin game. |

![]() and can I change my opinion about trading for Kyrie Irving? Dud is perfect through the 3rs quarter. 10 for 10.

The negative centered around his injury history which was a big deal and it was too much of a gamble money wise. There were positive takes in that he had always played hard and would be a leader. No one predicted he would abandon his professionalism to the night life though. |

We had a decent team before we signed Noah. It wasn't great, but it was workman like, it had flexibility with the cap. Lopez was a far better player- dude is still balling. |

If revealing my thoughts on signing Joakim Noah at the time is the barometer of my manhood - that isn’t toxic masculinity that’s just dumb masculinity. For the record I was as my previous post stated - I had mixed feelings. There seemed to be some hope he could come in as a leader and strong defensive presence but he totally betrayed us and his contract became a millstone. I’ve never thought about hiding that opinion and don’t understand what any of this has to do with one’s sperm count. And btw I liked Robin Lopez a lot also. But of course YOU the man saw it all. Bravo. |

Win now or your not worth anything. In my mind at the time, if I recall correctly, I wanted to see a slow and steady build of talent. Phil came in and thought arrogantly that he could build a winner overnight, probably because he inherited Jordan and started winning everything. |

I'm not calling you or anyone out! And you're right - it should be about owning up to poor opinions we held in the past. Nothing whatsoever to do with personal attributes. I just don't think you can hold anything against Noah - dudes body just broke down. And he was never the guy with talent, just a tremendous level of energy - and his short career burned him out. And this is highly germane to our discussions now about trading Julius Randle. I hope we don't screw things up and do a trade to the Lakers for a washed up Westbrook. I like our group. I like Randle (the version last year and before), but not the attitude that has been perceived. Tossing the ball off and walking off the court after a tremendous win is just too much of a downer kind of person. I hope the FO and Thibs can get Randle to just chillax. Chill out dude. Try to have fun! That would be my message to Randle - try to have fun, and if you can't in NY with this group, we will find you the best place we can (Indiana! OKC, UTAH!) |
